Paperback. Condición: New. A Chinese boy struggles to adapt to American life-and discovers baseball. Despite his impulsive and curious nature, twelve-year-old Leon is determined to follow the Emperor's rules-to live with an American family, study hard, and return home to modernize China. But he also must keep the braid that shows his loyalty-and resist such forbidden American temptations as baseball. As Leon overcomes teasing and makes friends, his elder brother becomes increasingly alienated. Eventually, Leon faces a tough decision, torn between his loyalty to his birth country-and his growing love for his new home. The Forbidden Temptation of Baseball is a lively, poignant, and nuanced novel based on a little-known episode from history, when 120 boys were sent to New England by the Emperor of China in the 1870s.

It gives American readers a glimpse into what it feels like to be a foreigner in the United States and will spark thoughtful discussions.…
